< How to calculate Drum Unit Life >
The number of drum rotations per one page printing is about 11 rotations.
(Page counter reduced by the number of drum rotations) =
(the number of drum rotations) ÷ 11
- The number of drum rotations per one page printing continuously = 3.6
rotations.
- The number of drum rotations while warming-up = 9 rotations
Example:
The number of pages calculated from drum rotations
1 page/job (9 + 11) / 11 = 1.82
2 pages/job (9 + 11 + 3.6) / 11 = 2.15
18 pages/job (9 + 11 + 3.6 x 17) / 11 = 7.38
If printing 1 page per job with cold start, the drum unit life is decreased
earlier.

The counter and history information related to the following term are
included. When it reaches the maximum count, each term is no longer

The maximum count for each item is 1 million times.
The information above is not cleared when replacing the PF kit.

The paper jam which occurs when the printer is turned ON is not
counted.
The maximum count for each item is 255 times.
